I cannot believe that we are nearing the end of our
recruitment season in South Africa. It
has been such a great journey meeting all the new recruits that dressed up for
the Country Club interviews over the past two weeks.
A popular question I have been asked is “what do I take
with?” And “how much should I pack?” so here are a few tips:
· Do not overpack: You do not need to pack a lot
as clothing in the USA is fairly cheap and earning dollars will definitely make
buying clothes more feasible. From my experience going to the USA for my first
season, I packed too much clothes and personal items that I realised that I
have too many suitcases to return to South Africa.
· Pack light: take light clothes as the winter
season in Florida is still very hot, you will have one or two weeks where the
nights are a bit chilli so take a blazer or “hoodie”. Pack your flip flops,
swimwear and towels as you will be spending lots of time on the beach and buy
sunscreen there as it can get messy in your bag.
· Bring your camera: You will be making lots of
memories, ones that you will want to cherish for a lifetime.
· Take some formal clothes: Your country club will most likely have a
formal Christmas party for the staff and you will need something to wear.
· Take something that reminds you of home: Pictures
of your loved ones or something personal, is always good to keep. The time in
Florida can make you miss your friends and family and having some pictures to
remind you of them is always good and helps when you are feeling homesick.
